    Well done! The skinny 'S' blurs out on the TV footage! " 100 Watt Marshall Superlead-clone Ca. 1971 Stramp 2100A - Made in Germany. With its 4x EL-34 and 3x ECC83 tubes, this amplifier was a clone of the Marshall 1959 Superlead. " Seems well known users were Gerry McAvoy, Leslie West, John Entwhistle and possibly Adrian Legg.

    I came in at Out of the Blue, and went backwards through the catalogue (including the box set). Stayed for Discovery but Horace Wimp and then Xanadu was too much to bear... I like the recent double live album, nostalgia fest! I keep meaning to get 'The Night the Lights Went on in Long Beach' - for at least forty years....

    Not long ago I gave my brother a JCM800 1x1216 ohm cab, to use with his Tiny Terror. Once upon I time I used to use it with a 1-watt Maplins micro-amplifier, a tiny thing with a PP3 in it. Definitely proved the rule that 100 watts are only twice as loud as 1 watt, other things being equal.

    A bit bigger... this one:

    Hmm. My Peavey 1x15 is bigger than my 4x10 combo (and our washing machine).

    I doubt that was 1989 because it's got Phil and Mikkey in it with no Wurzel, so post 95. It's 2005.

    Twice. Funny how 200 watts was enough for Lemmy...

    I agree the Peavey looks clunky and assembled rather than designed. The Sri is gorgeous, but I'm afraid I think most Alembics are as tasteless as an ormolu sideboard.

    Any questions?

    Does anyone know anything about Tramp amps and cabs. Mid 70s, so not Trace Elliott or Stormtrooper helmets...

    Don't all the fret lines converge at a common point?

    As an aside, the first bass player I noticed was Kelly Groucutt. The first band I really got into was ELO and at some point I realised you could listen to a song focusing on different instruments and that's how I discovered basslines.

    Now I know what you get if you cross a Ford Mustang with a Fiat Panda...

    Lemmy preferred the Marshal 4x15. In quantity 🙂 Has MrsTeebs locked you in the boot again?

    As part of my astrophotography hobby, I have software that takes multiple images and averages them together to bring out faint details and hidden shapes. You can then apply techniques like deconvolution and contrast enhancement to achieve a striking but accurate image. I thought I'd try applying this technology here, so I've fed in all of your different favourite basses, and this is the result:

    love the natural and green, not entirely sure about the tony tiger stripes 🙂

    I imagine @stewblack is still kicking himself for handing that over for a pittance!

    Definitely better, sounds more 'unified'.

    Uncanny resemblance to Hugh Laurie 🙂

    Great Gerry McAvoy bass solo:

    Well plenty of evidence here that... it's a matter of personal taste. Interesting to see a third version of what a volute is (clue the original word means snail's shell). I also quite like this which may have a 'P' pickup but manages not to look like one:

    Slade - made me notice music. Hendrix - made the top of my head come off. Soft Machine - made me realise it isn't just tunes.

    They were making fake Stradivarii 200 years ago...
